From Toledo, home to the Nancy Drew mysteries, to Lorain, which spawned the remarkable Toni Morrison, and Columbus and its favorite literary son, James Thurber, Ohio has put many great writers on the map.
These writers and many more and where they came from are considered in “The Ohio Literary Trail: A Guide” by journalist and public relations professional Betty Weibel. Divided into five geographic regions of the state, the book looks at writers’ homes, museums, parks, monuments, libraries and more that celebrate Ohio-born literature.
At the Toledo Lucas County Public Library is a Nancy Drew collection, the popular series about the teenage sleuth written by Mildred “Millie” Wirt, better known by her pen name, Carolyn Keene.
